1000-Arten-Challenge - Update

Auch an diesem Monatsersten soll es nochmal ein kurzes Update geben. Seit mein letztes Ziel erreicht ist, ist es bei mir ruhiger geworden. Trotzdem kommen immer noch vereinzelt Arten dazu auf die Liste. Zuletzt ein Mauswiesel, dass sich auf unserem verschneiten Büroparkplatz seinen Weg suchte und das ich endlich mal fotografieren konnte, weil es sich zuerst unter einem Auto versteckte, während ich hektisch die Kamera ranschaffte. Einen Monat habe ich immer noch Zeit, aber die frostigen T...

Итоги ноября

В силу вступила календарная зима, а значит время подвести ноябрьские итоги :)

За пару осенних недель участники проекта «Российская зима — Воронежская область» поделились 28 наблюдениями. Самым наблюдательным в ноябре оказался @kostya_hatkovsky — в его коллекции уже 12 встреч.

Всего участниками зафиксировано 18 видов. Чаще всего в объектив попадали свиристели (4). А вот встрети...

Help with IDs

Hello, can anyone help me with some of my IDs that seem to have gone unnoticed? There are almost 300 of them and I know some of them may be due to the quality of the photos but some of them I think you'd agree are fine. If its possible though that would be amazing and sure help me out!!

Thanks, Aiden

Six thousand Snake Snacks!

Thanks so much, everyone!

Hopefully over the next month I will be able to get a bid more analysis done on this project. Even though we're growing more with time, I think the thing that is going to most improve our dataset will be drawing more users in via publication, so I'm hoping to come up with a basic framework for a paper in the next month or so.

If you're interested in working on analysis, writing, etc. please get in touch with me! I want this to be a big-ten...

Working in ‘Ōla‘a Forest Reserve

Whoops this is what I get for posting these journal entries way after the fact. This was actually my first experience doing field work in Hawai'i. We were working in the wet forest of ‘Ōla‘a which is just outside of Volcanoes NP. It was my first time even seeing any kind of wet forest ecosystem and wow my mind was blown! There is just so much to look at! I tripped multiple times looking around at plants instead of where I was stepping, but it was beyond worth it. There are just so many l...

State of the Syrphs - 1-Dec-2023

Hi everyone,

Annotatathon

I want to start by thanking all those of you who were involved in the 'Annotatathon'. Over that weekend we added a splendid total of 33 044 annotations! I would be surprised if we didn't now have the best annotated national Syrphid fauna of any (large) country on the planet :-). Incidentally, if you want to contribute annotations abroad you can use much the same rules - in relation to sex annotation Syrphini in particular are saf...

Hawai'i: Camp Trip to Nāhuku

First camp trip in Hawai'i! Woohoo! It was incredible. I had forgotten how much I absolutely adore camping. It was my first time out in the subalpine shrublands of Hawai'i, so I tried to take photos of anything and everything I could on this app lol! The sunsets were gorgeous and there were so many Erckels that kept calling which was so funny. The views from the areas we were sampling were so vast and it looked like you could fall off the edge of the earth into sky. We crossed a ton of o...

Tracking Anthidium manicatum 2

01/12/2023

First reports of observations are coming in through online sources (iNat and Tasmanian Insect ans Spiders facebook page)

I have seen one (at the possible origin site and site of first confirmed ID) fleetingly, and was unable to photograph.

Today, (Morty Berd) a facebook user told me of several he has seen on the wing at his property for roughly 3 weeks, today he captured male and female specimens.

Updates

Hi everybody!

We have decided to change our project type from Traditional to Collective. I originally wanted to keep it as "Traditional" because it gives you more control on who, what, and how the data gets collected, but it was also more complicated for the average user to contribute any observations. The "Collective" project type also wouldn't let you easily import a list of species you only want to focus on like in the "Traditional" project (at least not that I could find), ...

Decline in populations of Virginia ctenucha moths, Ctenucha virginica, at Barnes Tallgrass Prairie remnants, Racine Co. WI. From 1979 to 2023

Virginia ctenucha, a day-flying tiger moth, was commonly seen at Barnes Prairie remnants from 1978 until 2004. In recent years, their populations appear to be declining. Although there has not been a reduction in acreage of the area surveyed, some of the adjacent farmland has been developed into housing and commercial use, which increased in 2000.

Surveys were conducted biweekly from mid-June through mid-August between 1978 and 2015. Surveys were conducted as described in Comm...

Update - Nov Month End

We are at the end of the 2023 Dragonfly season. There may be some additional observations arrive, but the bulk of the data is now in place. Our latest flying adult Ode in the data (so far) is a Nov 27, 2006 Autumn Meadowhawk. Seems hard to believe my season's done - it's just been a week! Already looking forward to 2024.

2023 will be the top year in the Ohio Odonata Society database with over 38,000 observations from more than 1,000 contributors. All 88 Ohio Counties are represen...

Speciation by conglomeration - a further notion.

Perhaps you have heard of the largest single flower in the world?
Let us be clear.
It is a single flower.
It is not a composite of flowers (the largest of these of which is produced by the famous Amorphophallus titanum ).

No, the largest single flower in the world,
up to about 20-inches (50 cm) across,
is produced by Rafflesia arnoldii.

And yet to see the plant that produces this enormous flower <...

Persistent plant part

  • bud scales
  • calyx
  • frond
  • fruit

  • strobilus
  • style
